Chapter 854 - 835: Didn’t Expect You to Be So Easygoing
Lu Li quickly brought the news over, and after saying it, he quickly left again, as if his sole purpose was to stir up a serene pond.
Qin Mobai was furious, but this anger didn’t show on his face.
After Lu Li left, the man sat alone in the armchair, not speaking to Lou Xi, playing with his phone by himself. It was unclear what he was looking at.
Lou Xi walked over to Qin Mobai’s chair, craned her neck to see what Qin Mobai was looking at on his phone, but Qin Mobai moved the phone away, refusing to let Lou Xi see.
Lou Xi knew that this man was being prideful; trying to talk to him nicely wouldn’t work.
She squatted by Qin Mobai’s legs, rested her hands on his legs, and looked up at him.
There it was again, that expression he always showed when Lou Xi wanted to ask Qin Mobai for something.
And, it was always effective, never failing.
"Mo Bai, if one day Lu Li or Fu Sinian or Cen Jingyi encountered problems, would you drop everything to save them? Well, not exactly save, just go find them. Would you?"
"No." Qin Mobai responded crisply, as if he couldn’t care less about those people’s fate.
Lou Xi: "..."
What’s the matter with being unable to communicate?
Perhaps it was because he saw Lou Xi’s surprised expression, Qin Mobai uncharacteristically explained, "Those few, they don’t need my help."
Lou Xi paused for a moment, then thoughtfully considered Qin Mobai’s words, and it was indeed true.
Lu Li, Fu Sinian, and Cen Jingyi, each of them was exceptionally capable. There was no need for Qin Mobai to help them.
Thinking of this, Lou Xi’s expression suddenly darkened. If that’s the case, Qin Mobai wouldn’t agree to let Lou Xi go to Dali to find Bai Lu.
But if it were Lu Li looking for Bai Lu over there, Bai Lu would surely hide.
She and Bai Lu had a good relationship back in college, and if anything happened to Bai Lu, Lou Xi wanted to be the first by her side.
Qin Mobai raised his hand, gently stroked the back of Lou Xi’s head, "Alright, I’ll go with you."
It was as if Lou Xi hadn’t understood what Qin Mobai said, she raised her head to look at his handsome face, and asked, "What did you say?"
"I said, I’ll go with you. But if you feel unwell at any time, we must return to Nancheng immediately, regardless of whether we find Bai Lu or not."
"Okay, okay, okay!" Lou Xi didn’t care what Qin Mobai’s conditions were, she got up and hugged Qin Mobai.
Lou Xi was so happy, she hadn’t expected Qin Mobai to give in so easily. She was too excited to speak.
"So you can be so accommodating!" Lou Xi lightly rubbed her face against Qin Mobai’s neck, making him itch.
Qin Mobai chuckled softly, "When am I not accommodating?"
"..." When was Qin Mobai ever accommodating?
"It’s because I know that if you can’t find Bai Lu, you won’t be able to settle down for treatment at the hospital. Don’t I know your personality?" It was precisely because Qin Mobai knew Lou Xi so well that he could only make this choice.
Rather than having Lou Xi’s heart elsewhere while she’s here, it was better to find Bai Lu and then come back for treatment.
Lou Xi’s treatment was a long-term project anyway, there was no rush.
The environment in Dali is good. Once they find Bai Lu, they can rest there for a while, away from the mundane world of Nancheng.
